This is despicable. Starmer and his merry band of liars & abstainers just want this whole thing to go away. But we’re not going to allow that…. #ItWasAScam

Entire country is on its arse, Minority groups are under attack by a new wave of Nazism, your Bills are going up 25%, but all you get, is wall to wall "Antisemitism" & how criticism of Israel is somehow worse than The genocide they're guilty of. Aren't you all fucking tired?!
BREAKING: A landmark government report is set to reveal the vast scale of antisemitism in English schools and colleges, Sky News can exclusively reveal. The report, written by former schools inspector Sir David Bell, will on Wednesday set out 27 recommendations to create change.

The U.K. is no longer a sovereign nation when lawmakers pass legislation which criminalises their own citizens on behalf of another country. These people are traitors & if my kids were still in school & being subjected to this garbage they’d be removed forthwith!!
Been teaching for 18 years. I have seen, heard, & heard of, instances of sexism, homophobia, & racism against PoC at work. But I have never seen, heard, or even heard about a single instance of antisemitism. In 18 years. This is now industrial strength gas lighting. Madness.

British journalists never reported on their government's direct participation in the Gaza genocide They were obeying a 'D-Notice' censorship order sent out by the UK military Every media editor received this on 28 October 2023. You were never meant to see it. Here it isπŸ‘‡

Timeline from netenyahu announcing there’d be a terrorist attack soon and then this and whatever the hell happened in the UK occurs. This dodgy as hell and comes as the world is increasingly turning on netenyahu

Like clockwork that this brain dead fool would believe this nonsense. Meanwhile, 20 Palestinians killed or wounded in an Israeli strike on a bus in Gaza City and not a peep from this dumb mfr.
Wow. Just saw the news about the flight to Tel Aviv. Bravo to the brave Israeli passengers who saved that flight. God bless them all. Shocking.

I you believe this fvcking monster spouting this fvcking nonsense you are seriously mentally deranged. Mossad false flags are just so brazen now, only clowns like Pearson could possibly believe this crap!
So it turns out Israel gave the UK the intel on an imminent Iranian attack (RAF Fairford). And what did our government of student activists do? The very next day Mad Miliband imposed sanctions on our friend Israel. Our country is stark staring mad. Lives are at stake FGS.

Wow. It's way worse than I thought. The players from Ireland shunned Gavin Bazunu for not wanting to play Israel, wouldn't let him attend the meetings, told him to quit the team entirely. I am absolutely appalled by the Irish players, their coach, the leadership. Cowards.
Extraordinary this from Brian Kerr: - Spoken with Gavin Bazunu who’s feeling quite low and shunned by players/FAI - Suggested to him it’d be better he left the squad for remainder of this window - Wasn’t told about meeting this morning - Wasn’t there for vote this morning (his vote was assumed by other players) πŸŽ₯ @VMSportIE

Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has withdrawn from Ireland’s Nations League match against Israel and released a statement: β€œRepresenting my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my teammates, the manager, his staff and the Irish people. However, I have reached a decision that I have not taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle. Therefore, I feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel. My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong. It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition to the Israeli people or the Jewish community, but against the atrocities in the region. There are few times in life when you get a chance to stand up for something bigger, and I strongly believe that this is one of them.”

Bravo to these artists who, unlike Sheeran, have not lost their moral compasses πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ
BREAKING: EVERY scheduled opening act on Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour has now withdrawn after Macklemore was dropped over his pro-Palestinian remarks. Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Finneas have all pulled out, while Sheeran’s touring band Beoga has also quit. Each cited solidarity with Macklemore, Palestinians, or opposition to artists being silenced.

You can’t ’both sides’ this a genocide Sheeran, you irredeemable moron. Good grief, every word that comes out of this clowns mouth only shows the depth of his appalling ignorance. You had the chance to tell genocidal Zionist thugs like Kraft where to go and you blew it. Wβš“οΈ
Ed Sheeran released a statement. "I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated." πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

Robert Kraft, who called Ed Sheeran & made him kick Macklemore off his tour, was gifted a $1 million award from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Kraft has donated millions to pro-Israel groups In the words of Netanyahu: "Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft"

Ed Sheeran is a gutless coward who only takes sides when white people are in the firing line (see his comments re Ukraine). Fvck Ed Sheeran! Fvck Pink! Fvck Israel! Free Palestine πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‰πŸ‰
Ed Sheeran reportedly told Macklemore that the words β€œFree Palestine” and the image of the Palestinian flag β€œhurt” many of the people he spoke with, adding that he doesn’t β€œtake sides.”

No, this is not a joke. UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *MΓ©decins Sans FrontiΓ¨res*. That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists. On the same legal footing as ISIS. Membership would mean 14 years in prison. This is what we’re dealing with
Shabana Mahmood is being urged by UK Lawyers for Israel to proscribe Doctors Without Borders (MSF) over staff’s alleged links to terrorist groups. πŸ”—: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

It’s fascinating that one of the authors of the PATRIOT ACT, Michael Chertoff, also personally intervened to release the Dancing Israelis before they could be indicted for their role in 9/11. His mother was a founding member of the Mossad. Crazy coincidence!
